Description

  The present invention relates to a cap with a measuring portion that can be easily taken out of a predetermined number of granular contents when used in a mouth-and-neck portion of a container body of a wide-mouth container that stores granular contents.

  Conventionally, granular contents such as gums, candy, tablets, etc. are generally stored in a wide-mouthed cylindrical container composed of a container body and a lid, and when used, the lid is opened from the container body, A finger was put in from the mouth of the container body, and the necessary number of granular contents were picked and taken out with the finger.

  However, in the case of the above-described wide-mouthed cylindrical container, if the container body has a small diameter at the mouth / neck of the container body or a container with a deep container body, put the finger through the mouth of the container body to In some cases, it was difficult to pick it up and take it out. Further, when the granular contents are picked and taken out with a finger, the finger may come into contact with other granular contents stored in the container body to be contaminated.

  The present invention solves the problems of the above-described conventional wide-mouthed cylindrical container for storing the granular contents, and is attached to the mouth-and-neck portion of the container body, and when the lid is opened for use, The present invention provides a hygienic cap with a measuring portion in which a predetermined number of granular contents are measured at a position where it can be easily picked with a finger.

  That is, the first invention of the present invention is a cap comprising a cap body to be mounted on the mouth and neck of the container body and a lid part covering the upper part of the cap body, the cap body comprising a peripheral wall and an inner periphery. It has a top plate provided with a concave measuring housing portion through a gap in a cap with a measuring portion.

  Next, a second invention is the cap with a measuring portion according to the first invention, wherein the concave measuring housing portion is provided at a substantially central portion of the top plate.

  Next, a third invention is the cap with a measuring part according to the first or second invention, wherein the concave measuring housing part is provided by bridging a connecting rib.

  And the 4th invention is a cap with a measuring part given in either of the 1st thru / or the 3rd invention, wherein the above-mentioned lid part has a concave receiving part.

  The wide-mouthed cylindrical container in which the cap with the measuring unit of the present invention is attached to the mouth / neck portion of the container body once the container is inclined downward or inverted, the granular contents stored in the container body are Passing through the gap between the concave measuring housing between the connecting ribs of the main body and the inner peripheral surface of the inner sealing ring or the lid engaging tube, the upper surface of the lid top plate and the upper surface of the concave measuring housing of the cap body Move to the storage space between. When the container is returned to the upright state again, the granular contents stored in the storage space move downward. Among the moved granular contents, a predetermined number of the granular contents are accommodated in the concave measuring and accommodating part, and the other granular contents are returned into the container body. And if a cover part is opened, the predetermined number of granular contents accommodated in the concave measurement accommodation part provided in the predetermined position of the opening part inside a cap main body can be picked up easily with a finger, and can be taken out easily.

  In addition, the container equipped with the cap with the measuring unit of the present invention on the mouth and neck of the container main body, when the granular content is picked up with a finger and taken out, the predetermined number of granular contents stored in the concave measuring storage unit. It is to be taken out, and it is extremely hygienic because there is no possibility that the fingers touch and contaminate other granular contents stored in the container body.
